“Album art is the music industry’s equivalent to the movie poster. It’s the ultimate form of promotional design. Bonus materials like mini books extended the magic of the music held within.” Richard takes every opportunity he can get to create package design for bands, “The design can be iconic and full of symbolism, so it’s challenging. I think that,s why I design, because its challenging.”

Visual design supports the musician in a symbiotic relationship. Video and audio are inseparable yet seldom given the chance to really spend time together. I think this is the direction of the music video, a renaissance of image and sound.” He also explores this audio/visual relationship fully in-depth in his personal multimedia project, Toward Z, In the end it became both an interactive piece and a music video. I created all of the music in Apple Logic.”

Founding member Richard Lewis began playing the violin when he was 6 years old. By age 10 he was programming music electronically on his Commodore 64 computer.At age 18 he began performing live in the band Stone Pony with Kevin Garbee and Thomas Neuhaus.

Creating music has always been a part of Richard’s life but it was not until 2004 that he returned professionally as a member of Seattle based Voyager One. He played keyboards and samples alongside the bands founders Peter Marcheese and Jeramy Koeppling. The highlight of being a part of Voyager One was playing the Seattle Art Museums Best of Seattle Awards with another Seattle favorite Heliosequence.

Much of the time spent with Voyager One also included working with projectionist Projectorhead on the DVD release Shadows and Daydreams. It was this time that greatly influenced the visual aspect of Splicebox.

In 2009 Splicebox released an unofficial interactive installation Toward Z which recently made semi-finalist in the Adobe Design Achievement Awards.

Currently Splicebox is working on a LP code name “Reset”. The first single “Reset Return” was released October 14 2011.
